Stirring

There is a lot going on in this little corner of the garden!  The crocus are just out, the climbing hydrangea is in bud - and a dandelion has strong green leaves already! 
A visit to the vet this morning for Russet, who is still suffering from itchiness, as many other dogs are, apparently. However, the pills which alleviate this (it is not flea related) are in short supply, so the surgery are having to wait for their allocation, which may  arrive later this month.
Extraordinary. 
This afternoon we had a brisk walk in the sunshine, and then a short time in the garden cutting back hellebore leaves, catmint etc. 
There is a great deal more to do, but it was a start!
